Snap Circuits is a line of electronic kits manufactured by Elenco Electronics and aimed at children eight years and older.[1] The kits come in a variety of sizes, and may include capacitors, diodes, electric motors, lamps, LEDs, radios, electromagnets, speakers, resistors, transformer, transistors and voltmeters. The kits contain a plastic baseboard into which the various components and wires can be snapped to easily create a working circuit.

Snap Circuits has been praised for exposing young children to elementary engineering concepts.[1][2]

A line entitled Snap Circuits Jr., geared towards younger children also exists.
